Process of preparation
1. Mix molasses and EM in water
2. Pour the mixture into a clean plastic container or drum, close tightly and keep in a warm place.
*A suitable temperature for fermentation is from 30℃ to 40℃.
From about second day on, gas may form as a result of the fermentation process. Loosen the cap to release gas generated a few times during the fermentation process.
4. EMAS is ready to use, 7-10 days after preparing it. When the pH of the solution drops below 4.0(ideally it has a pH around 3.5) and when it has a sweet –sour smell like EM・1 and has changed color from black to reddish brown.
*There is a wide range of variations of EMAS as a result of fermentation due to materials and conditions.
